The battlefield was boundless, stretching for who knew how many light-years.
Countless ages had passed, yet its air still reeked of slaughter.
Enormous Universe Fragments drifted by, glittering like a sea of stars. Celestial bodies floated everywhere; pieced together, they would have formed a realm no smaller than the Universe Origin Road.
The corpses of colossal creatures—birds, Divine Beasts, and humanoid beings—drifted in every direction.
Countless cracks in the heavens and earth crisscrossed the land, with ravines stretching across it in swaths.
The sight was beyond words.
Li Ye was certain this was the aftermath of a Big Bang.
He couldn't help thinking of his previous life.
According to various scientific theories, the universe had undergone more than one Big Bang.
If the universe he now inhabited was the same one as in his previous life, then he had found compelling evidence for those scientists.
It was no longer confined to theory.
"Was this war what destroyed the universe?"
Li Ye fell into deep thought as he gripped the Giant Spirit Hammer and traveled through the prehistoric battlefield.
Universe Fragments and enormous celestial bodies flowed past him.
He reached out to grab a rusted, broken sword. With a puff, it crumbled to pieces.
But Li Ye could tell that the sword had been made from an exceptionally tough Immortal Gold, and might even have been an Emperor Weapon.
Yet it had fallen apart like powder.
"What started this war?"
Li Ye murmured, carefully examining every trace left on the battlefield, especially the colossal corpses.
He found some remains with black bones, already rotted and nowhere near as sturdy as the Emperor Corpses farther behind.
Yet even when he drew near, a chilling aura still lingered, its cold seeping into his bones.
There were many such black skeletons, packed densely together.
